You’re Hired! Sussex Apprentices Awarded

The commitment and effort of more than 50 apprentices was celebrated at an East Sussex graduation ceremony in the autumn – the first of its kind in the county.

The event, organised by the Sussex Council of Training Providers, marked the importance of apprenticeships to the local economy and the contributions of apprentices.

Certificates were presented to those who completed apprenticeships between September
2018 and August 2019, by Cllr Rupert Simmons, lead member for economy at East Sussex County Council.

Cllr Simmons said: “I was delighted to be able to offer my congratulations to the apprentices who have worked extremely hard as they have embarked on careers.’

“While celebrating the achievements of apprentices, it was wonderful to see local businesses and education partners being recognised for their contribution.”
